Galil / Home switch set up
« on: July 22, 2010, 08:18:24 PM »
Hi All,
I am setting up a DMC-2143 with the SDM-2042 stepper driver attached. No matter how I configure the home switch it won't work(meaning i start homing then trigger the switch and nothing) when using mach3. It works fine when i am using the DMC Smart terminal. The switch is recognized and the home cycle completes as normal. If I try to home in Mach3 the switch is not recognized. The limits work fine, both settings (active high and low). I am using the home input on the SDM-2042. One thing I have noticed is that in the data record of smart terminal, the axis switches for the " State of home input" is not effected by selecting home active low in the plug-in config.
Also are ports and pins setting necessary? As I am not using a printer port and the limits are working I am guessing no.
Thanks
